Youth elixir... Try this juice before exercising.
Recently discovered that consuming beetroot juice before exercising may have anti-aging benefits on the brain, especially for seniors with high blood pressure, as reported by TimesofIndia."
A recent study conducted by researchers at Wake Forest University involved 26 participants aged 55 and older who consumed beetroot before walking on a treadmill three times a week.
Enhancing Positive Effects
The research team sought ways to enhance the known positive effects of exercise on brain aging. The short training results for seniors with high blood pressure showed that adding beetroot juice supplement to exercise led to brain connectivity similar to that of younger individuals compared to exercise alone.
Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide molecules go to oxygen-deprived areas in the body, such as the brain, which is a major oxygen source in the body.
Brain Motor Activity
The study revealed that combining beetroot juice with exercise helps deliver more oxygen to the brain, strengthening the brain's motor activity area post-exercise.
Improving Athletic Performance
The study specifically indicates that nitrates, naturally present in beetroot, have shown the ability to increase blood flow in the body and improve athletic performance.
